How do I temporarily remove a radiator to decorate behind it and how do I fix the radiator back ?? :?
 
Turn off both sides, disconnect, catch water in basin or similar, decorate, refit radiator in reverse order, open valves and bleed rad. Top up boiler pressure if required. :)
 
if it has a thermostatic rad valve fitted you need to fit the manual cap so it wont open up when the room temperature drops. either that or fit a blank over the trv outlet. the lockshield 'should' just turn off.

if its a sealed system, make sure you top the system back up when you refit the rad and add some inhibitor.
